right my civic esi used to look like this, thought it looked ok, then realied it didnt, so decided to change some stuff on it. first thing was to stick an exhaust on to it, powerflow cat back. next thing to come was some lowering spring - still too high, then my referbed honda wheels done by myself.
before
in between - wheels off my mums civic
after
i got some new wheels, exhaust and front ambers on. also i have lowered the car even more and went and picked up my facelift 1 piece spoiler
Lowered some more
New wheels and lights
here are some before and after pics of the spoiler
Before
After
the exhaust sticks out loads, its because it was not fitted properly as i need to get the centre pipe lengthened, so its using the standard one which is a little too long and makes it stick out.
got abit bored so took some better photo's
Took my car on tack
finally got round to ordering some disks and pads, and new lower ball joints
thought that as i got the disks and pads i would test fit my new brakes behind my wheels to make sure they fitted
as i got the new disks and pads i thought it was about time i gave my legend calipers a nice lick of paint
packed it all up ready for it to go off to the garage to be fitted
i got a new engine dropped in
BUT then 5 hours later the bottom end went on it, so back to the garage it went, while putting it on the back of the tow truck i noticed the garage had forgotton to put 2 of my wheel nuts on :S
, they stripped it to take a look and could not see why it had happened, and insisted that it was not worth fixing, and possibly ending my cars life here and stripping it for parts. i thought about it long and hard, was considering getting an integra, but for a JDM one it was far too much to insure, so that was out of the window, i really didnt want to give up my pride and joy that i had put time and money in to, so it all came down to ...........
a new engine
oh and also an exhaust that you wont trip over now
momo steering wheel and SIR dials
Got my new PIAA h4h bulbs
and the bit you have all been waiting for the new engine
fitted my H brace, it sits really low, have hit it a few times so far.
Well I took a trip to my local scrap yard and there happened to be a JDM VTI in there, so I took the heater from it and installed it in my car
well i made another new purchace for my car, got myself a seibion spoon style spoiler, should be collecting it on monday.
little update, something i brought a few weeks ago, but never got any pics, and a pic of my car as well
ITR recaro's with Sparco 4 point harnesses
got some pics of my car all finished, will get some better pics when its had it mot but for now here is how it looks
arches all done
